Garden landscaping in Leeds is really a tale of two housing types. Genuine back-to-back terraces around Hyde Park and Woodhouse typically have no rear garden at all, so landscaping work there is usually limited to a small front yard or shared courtyard space. Through-terraces in Chapel Allerton and Headingley have more conventional (if often narrow) rear gardens, and the larger suburban plots around Roundhay - one of the largest city parks in Europe, and a genuine local landmark - offer considerably more scope.

What drives the price

Where a rear garden exists but there's no side access, materials have to go through the house, adding labour time. Mature trees in the more established suburbs are sometimes protected by a Tree Preservation Order - worth checking with the council before any design involving removal or heavy pruning.

Combine with an extension where relevant

Where a kitchen extension is also planned, designing the garden alongside it avoids redoing groundwork twice, since the new patio level generally needs to match the extension's floor height.
